Abstract
CD40 is a transmembrane glycoprotein belonging to the tumour necrosis factor receptor superfamily, which has a role in a number of biological functions, including the regulation of cell growth and division, and cell mediated immunity. Although originally described on leucocytes, principally B lymphocytes, there is now abundant evidence for the cellular diversity of CD40. The aim of this article is to review the available data on CD40 in oral epithelium, principally that lining the oral mucosa, but also that of the salivary glands.
